Battle of Air Station Mike-26

The Battle of Air Station Mike-26 was an action of the Altian Civil War that took place at dusk on 7 July 2035. Aiming to capture an area capable of communicating with NATO's Mediterranean command, NATO Falcon team leader Captain Scott Miller decided to launch an assault on Air Station Mike-26 in the center of the island of Stratis, not far from the Falcon base of Camp Maxwell to the south. Charlie Squad fired howitzers at the watchtowers after Alpha Squad picked targets, and Alpha and Bravo Squads both moved in and took over the air station after some sharp fighting with the Altian Armed Forces. Alpha and Bravo proceeded to hold the air station from a counterattack by two mechanized infantry squads rolling out of Camp Rogain, but they found that the communication equipment had been destroyed; Delta Squad demolished the base rather than let it fall into enemy hands. While Falcon failed to capture the base intact, they made sure that it was not recaptured by the AAF, a blow to the Altian military.
